EA Sports won an important battle against UFC management this week. This is because the president of Ultimate, Dana White, has backtracked and will no longer fire fighters who may be part of the producer's MMA game.
“No, (but) some people crossed the line,” White told Kotaku when asked if he would follow through on his threat to ban athletes. Despite the truce, the top hat guarantees that he will wage war against the American producer.
“This will still continue to be a battle (…) they are copycats. UFC is the original (MMA) game”, referring to the licensed “UFC Undisputed 2010”, from producer THQ.
The conflict between Dana White and Electronic Arts began when the company allegedly refused to produce the 'UFC' game. “They told us it wasn’t a real sport,” White explained, repeating his previous statement. “They told us they would never make a game and now they come with this crap. Late… ”, he shot.
The EA Sports MMA game is scheduled to be released in the third half of this year.
